I was thinking of buying one of these as an upgrade from taking photos/vids on my 5s. How does it compare to a regualr dslr? Thank you

Due to the nature of the gopro I would not say it is a replacement for the iPhone or any other point and shoot camera. For one, the lens on the gopro is a fisheye lens. Videos and picture quality are really great. I have had great results from my iphone though as well. In addition, the 5s can shoot 1080p in 120fps whereas the gopro will only do 720p at 120fps. The real advantage of the gopro for me is being able to use it in and around water. I took it scuba diving and it was amazing.

First of all sorry my poor English, second, I don't think you can consider a GoPro similar a DSLR camera. With GoPro you have a fish eye (a lot of distortion) to do a portrait or a family photo for example. In my opinion if you don't practice a sport or don't have necessity to take the camera underwater you have to consider to buy a regular camera like a DSLR or a similar one. Best regards and good look!

Other than taking stills and video, it is an apples and oranges comparison.If you are interested in upgrading from a cell phone camera, you should consider an advanced point and shoot like this Canon PowerShot G16 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 1080p Full-HD Video Wi-Fi EnabledI purchased one of these a few months ago and use it for a large percentage of my shooting. My DSLR's are reserved for shots requiring long lenses.

It is an awesome camera. I love mine. Takes very good close ups as well. Good detail. Best digital camera I have had so far!! Good luck on Ebay.

I too looked at both of these cameras before purchasing the D5000. this is my first dSLR and don't have much to compare it to but I have been very happy with the quality of the images it takes and it is very easy to use. I thought the canon and nikon specs and reviews looked extremely comparable and that you would be getting a similar quality camera from both companies. I decided to go with the Nikon basically because it was $50 cheaper and used the savings to buy a memory card. whichever way you go you will be getting a big step up from a standard point and shoot camera (I had previously been using a Canon SD750) I too looked at both of these cameras before purchasing the D5000. this is my first dSLR and don't have much to compare it to but I have been very happy with the quality of the images it takes and it is very easy to use.

I find this camera very satisfactory with both subjects. I haven't used it a great deal yet because I haven't been traveling much these past few months, but the friend who owned an identical camera (and the reason I bought mine) got wonderful pictures with hers. Hope this helps!

I use it with my iphone 5s and taken hundreds of photos with flash with no issues.

I have a 720 mju and I love it. I was also looking at the Pentax WP10... but I went with the 720mju for several reasons -There's a higher ISO sensativity. -Digital image stabilization(this feature is niiiice... no accidental blurry photos!) -Overall build quality. It just feels rock-solid which is good for me because I do lots of hiking/climbing and stuff. I know I'll manage to drop this thing on the ground eventually... the shock-proof feature is nice. I personally don't have a problem with the button sizing. It seems a bit small, but they're spaced far enough apart so you don't hit things accidently. Cheers.

I cannot offer a nikon/canon comparison however I upgraded from a S90 to the S120 and am VERY VERY impressed. Amazingly fast user interface, bright rear screen and long battery life are some of the high points. Low light performance is AMAZING compared to my S90. The difference is almost like the change from T2I to 6D full frame in my canon SLR! The bad? Still no RAW converters out there, not even DXO though they report one coming later this month.

I have no complaints. Love the camera. Took amazing pics underwater!!! And happy with the indoor pics as well. It isnt a professional camera... If your looking for professional quality pics then shop on. I am a photographer and know this is a point and shoot and it does its job very well!

The 5D Mark III is a better upgrade in my opinion. I was never happy with my 1Ds. I love my 5D Mark III.

I guess that depends on what you are used to. I had no complaints about the image quality from it... it was an enormous step up from using an iPhone and actually, it produced better pictures than my nikon d3200 (with the 18-55 kit lens). But in the end, I found myself using prime lenses instead... I enjoy the 'hand-on' a little more.

The pictures are excellent. It has a shake resistant feature that works well. I have taken pictures from a cruise ship of a home on an island and it was clear and not blurry. As far as pictures in the dark, the flash is very bright and they do not come out dark. The camera comes with everything you need and the charger is the same set up as a phone, you do not remove it. Hope this helps your decision. This is actually my second Nikon Coolpix. I had an earlier one and upgraded to this one. Still us the other every now and then.

I have owned both cameras, and did not find much difference in E520. And no it does not take videos. Frankly I have found my iPhone to be more useful. Nonetheless the Evolts are decent instruments.

I also have a 7d and it works just fine. The speed is great and it holds a fair amount of photos if you shoot in RAW.

Yes the 7D shoots great video, Lots of music videos are shot on 7Ds and 5Ds. No IS but many lenses do have it.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.

Jake,I wanted a camera that I could put in my pocket instead of lugging around my SLR equipment. I had the canon s95 before this which was slightly smaller took great shots but has a small zoom. This camera for its flexibility as far as manual controls, great picture quality, more than adequate video and of course 20x optical is a as good as it gets for the price. Depends on what you are looking for however. There are many times I cant tell the difference between the shots I have taken with my more advanced equipment and this one. Very pleased with my purchase. Feel free to ask me any other questions .Milt Jake,I wanted a camera that I could put in my pocket instead of lugging around my SLR equipment.

I went on a trip to Portugal and used this camera for video and still pics. It takes great pics!!! I loved the convenience of being able to do both with one camera. Most people would not be able to tell the difference between those pics and those taken with my expensive Nikon. Now if you are just going to take photos...I would use my Nikon. The Photos taken with Panasonic W850K are wonderful and you will be pleased.
